### Azure Monitor billing meter names
147+
148+
Below is a list of Azure Monitor billing meters names that you'll see in the Azure Cost Management + Billing user experience and in your usage exports.
149+
150+
Here is a list of the meters used to bill for log data ingestion, and whether the meter is regional (there is a different billing meter, `MeterId` in the export usage report, for each region). Note that Basic Logs ingestion can be used when the workspace's pricing tier is Pay-as-you-go or any commitment tier.

### Legacy Application Insights meters

148230
Most Application Insights usage for both classic and workspace-based resources is reported on meters with **Log Analytics** for **Meter Category** because there's a single log back-end for all Azure Monitor components. Only Application Insights resources on legacy pricing tiers and multiple-step web tests are reported with **Application Insights** for **Meter Category**. The usage is shown in the **Consumed Quantity** column. The unit for each entry is shown in the **Unit of Measure** column.
